Features

Open Mind 5 is our most feature rich version yet, and we really think you’re going to like it. As with previous versions, flexibility is the key – everything idea you create and every connection you make is done through click and drag. Not everyone benefits from a tightly organized, strict layout that most software offers – Open Mind lets you express yourself fully. Where you place idea bubbles is what gives your diagram meaning and personality.

The Open Mind interface is designed to be instantly intuitive, it is unlikely you will need to spend longer than 10 minutes learning how to use Open Mind. Open Mind is deliberately intended to be able to create beautiful diagrams with minimal effort from you. Formatting your diagrams with Open Mind’s wide selection of themes and shapes is both swift and easy to do.
